my 87 progress (new updated pics)

have most of it sealed now....

still have to "tweek" some on the roll pan, and do some additional sanding on the pass. door.

but man, this thing is straight!

it will be a miracle if i get it done by the 1st for the big cruise in....i really doubt i'm gonna make it

Man, looking good. You may not make your deadline, but it'll look good in the end. Did you mention what color you plan on spraying. How 'bout the wheels? Did you decide on 15s or 17s? Good job.

can't go wrong with black (my favorite) especially on a truck that straight. i would go black on mine but i'm too lazy to repaint the white interior. man, that's looking good.

Hopefully, you'll receive the wheels this week.
